The Waves In The Human Heart By Hiren Bhattacharyya (Translated From Assamese) Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

The Waves in the Human Heart by Hiren Bhattacharyya (Translated from Assamese)

I wish to narrate these feelings very intimately. As intimately as the tears cascading over my cheeks. Alien words from various locations creep all over the darkness of the heart bejewelled with stars; I collect the pen and the paper in the hope of picking up an expression or two; so universal is the human heart, so many waves within. I stood there humbled looking at the rich paddy field.

(Translated by Syed Ahmed Shah)
